     OTHER DESCRIPTION  This is a really accurate load, apparently no matter what gun it's fired out of. It feels about like a "3/4-house " load, not quite full factory punch, but enough to be very enjoyable. Recoil is quite manageable for reasonably strong hands, but weaker hands might need gloves, depending on the gun's grip. No leading whatsoever.

    Bullet strength is between 15 and 16 BHN with this charge. Appears to be a perfect match to this load's pressure. Bullet lube is two coats of liquid Alox.
